I have been spending a lot of time re-formatting my blog for easier reading so please be patient with me! And while re-formatting, I have of course been scouring cyberspace and my neighborhood for this week's lowdown. So check it out:

-I am obsessed with this house. I want it. I need it. I probably will never have it, but a girl can dream...

Throughout this pregnancy, things are definitely smelling different to me. I have always had a sensitive nose, but I really love wearing perfume. It makes me feel dressed up, even if I'm in my PJ's, you know?

My husband has a very specific idea of how I should smell and we usually do not agree on scent. Until Petit Cherie by Anick Goutal. Normally I hate this kind of perfume (pear undertones, kinda floral) and veer toward musky scents but Petit Cherie really does smell great on me. I wear it as my "go-to" scent.

Its possible that I also just love the bottle! Doesn't it look so elegant?

Before I became pregnant I bought the new Balenciaga perfume, which I think is a perfect combination of sweet and musky and makes me feel like I could be off glamming it up somewhere glamourous. Does perfume do that to you? I also fell for the packaging and the ad campaign. Sucker.

My most recent purchase was done with full-on Prego nose and I'm kinda hooked. In New York I bought the new Margiela fragrance, Untitled. Love it. It smells like green tea at first and then settles down very subtly and clean. Again, sucker for packaging, but I'm happy I brought this one home.

I read so many blogs. Each day one or more of them has an item of clothing or furniture that I covet.

Is that bad?

Well, since I can't wear anything too interesting right now, I can day-dream of new and exciting ways to update my apartment! Today's cravings center around seating situations. I'm tired of my chairs. What do you think of these???

Well, it seems that it was harder to blog while I was away than I thought, so I wanted to share with you some of the things I saw and loved while I was in New York and Maine with my family and friends.

-Offbeat Oxfords: coming soon to a store near you in Tel Aviv! This fall will mark the arrival of Dieppa Restrepo, an incredible brand of oxfords and boots, that I will be importing. I finalized my order and can't wait to see the results in person! Stay tuned!

-My favorite boutique in Portland, Maine, Bliss! And Treehouse Toys, the most amazing toy store. Period. I spent hours there, wishing I could play! The toys are gorgeous, well arranged and so interesting.
